On 23rd May 2011, Linlithgow Thistle donated a set of strips to The Douglas Lodge, Bo'ness. The previously worn strip (Edinburgh West Championship winning away kit) and a Mitre match ball was donated to the Masonic Lodge for the excellent work of Bro. Paul Railton, who is travelling to India next month. Along with other very kind organisations and individuals, Linlithgow Thistle strips will be given to the very poor children who love playing football but are unable to afford the luxuries that we all take for granted on a daily basis. To further their love for the game, a team's identity is important and Thistle more than welcome the opportunity to help the children in India.
